At present, the Internet with a huge user base in China is always busy with traffic. Instant messaging, live broadcast, short video, e-commerce, self-media, etc. have become everyone’s daily life. The era of apps is also quietly changing. The major applications that relied on app downloads in the past have been disturbed by small programs. When the bubble bursts, the future of small programs has become more anticipated.
From the perspective of user experience, the applet has the convenience of leaving without downloading and installing. From the perspective of developers, the development difficulty is reduced, the deployment is simple, and it can be used on multiple terminals.
Many enterprises and companies have taken a fancy to business opportunities and convenience, and their demands have increased, so the outsourcing of small program development has also increased.
What should we pay attention to when outsourcing development, and what should we consider?
1. When the project is established, it is necessary to confirm the form of the product and the needs of the market group. What problems can my product solve for customers, and what model can I use to solve them? These are all things that the enterprise itself needs to consider. When communicating with the product manager, list them out, which can help the product manager sort out the business and realize the functional requirements.
Then confirm the product framework, draw a flow chart, and subdivide each functional module according to the flow chart. The overall direction of the project is confirmed.
2. Product prototype confirmation, according to the customer’s early communication results, determine the product prototype from the functional page, business logic, page structure design, etc., and then UI (interface design) design. Submit it to the customer for confirmation. After seeing the UI (interface design), the customer usually makes some modifications. Because of different angles, the customer thinks about the design drawing from the perspective of himself and his own business, while the UI designer thinks from the perspective of vision and aesthetics When designing, it is easy to cause some conceptual conflicts. I think it looks good, but he thinks it is not feasible. How to choose, this needs to be considered from the perspective of both the product and the market.
3. After the UI design is confirmed, it will enter the development stage, and the customer does not need to participate.
4. After the development is completed, there is no problem in the test, and the customer experience is delivered, and then the details are adjusted.
